CVE-2021-47790
Active WebCam 11.5 contains an unquoted service path vulnerability that allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code with elevated system privileges. Attackers can exploit the misconfigured service path by placing malicious executables in specific directory locations to gain administrative access.
